Good day, denizens of OC.net! Per our tradition, the forum will shut down for Clean Monday, beginning around 9pm Sunday evening (2/18) and ending around 9pm Monday evening (2/19). In the spirit of the coming Forgiveness Sunday, I ask you to forgive me for the sins I have committed against you. At the end of Great and Holy Week, the Forum will also shut down for Holy Friday and Holy Saturday (times TBA).

A hygiene company in Spain has produced special 'Pope Benedict toilet paper' for his much anticipated visit to Madrid for World Youth Day celebrations - although the honour has not exactly been well received at the Vatican.

Manufacturers Ronova released the limited edition loo paper in a bid to cash in on one million young pilgrims expected to travel to Spain for the event.

The gold and crisp white colours come in packs of two and have an 'I love the Pope' logo across its packaging...

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

I wasn't sure what celtic meant, that I'm the only poster that critisizes the Windsors, or that I only critisize them. Of course niether is accurate. And for the record I do not believe in the concept of "royalty" whether it's Betty Windsor, Al Grimaldi or Carl Bernadotte.

(Why do you men turn every thread into one about homosexuality? I have to cancel all my post ideas because I am anticipating the de-railing....)

In actuality probably only 5% of threads mention homosexuality. Maybe you have homosexuality on your mind, and thus tend to take notice of it any time it's mentioned, and then form a distorted and exaggerated impression as to how often it comes up. Well then, we forgive you anyway, even if your mind is constantly in the gutter.

I just love the fact a gay dude has a problem with royalty. Who wudda thunk.

And yeah, who cares about that irrelevant family?

I don't chime in, cause I don't care, but I love that Tallitot has made them his pet project and so many crypto-monarachists get their chains yanked by him.

Yes that was intentional.

OK, celtic given your general slant around here, what is the worst thing about Tallitot:

1.) He is a Jew.2.) He is gay.3.) He is Texan.4.) He is forever mocking a silly institution.

Frankly, I love the fact he is all four. An odd ball (are they even ones?).

He puts the dic into contradiction. //:=)

EDIT: Tallitot, sorry about outing you for being a Texan.

He's Texan? I guess everyone does have their redeeming features.

It would seem that he is not a queen.

Interesting, btw, for if their were no concept of "Betty Windsor" and her ancestors, they'd be no concept of GB (it was a personal union of theirs for centuries). Similiarly, no "Al Grimaldi" no Monaco (and the Monégasques have made it clear, they want a country). The Bernadottes and Sweden I won't defend.

As well you should be sorry. You can't undo the damage that that type of thing does once it's out.

EDIT--just a thought, could we cede Texas to Mexico?

How about ceding coastal CA, at least up to SF, instead?

And we'll throw in NY.
